Reformat Text Document in Notepad

[it-for-senior]

I have a downloaded Text Document that is 3+ screens wide. Can I reformat
this to fit the screen? I do not have Word, only Wordpad and Notepad.

I have done it manually in the past, really neither of these programs are
considered decent word processing software, but I understand you use what you
can afford.

Enable the word-wrap option.

I meant to say, manually means, placing your cursor at the end of a sentence
and inserting a return "ie hitting the enter button" will allow you to
reformat the doc. albiet PITB but it works.

As an alternative to MsWord, you could consider AbiWord:

"AbiWord is a free word processing program similar to Microsoft® Word.
It is suitable for a wide variety of word processing tasks."

Turn on the word-wrapping feature in either Wordpad or Notepad.
